In trying to rid my home of incredible amounts of oldish papers which must be shredded, I found that shredding companies will only take them in paper bags. As these no longer come without a penalty (they are not in all grocery stores any more, and you have to pay for them if they do have them), I decided to buy some. These bags came from a third party via amazon, and they came promptly and in fine shape. It is hard to rave about paper bags, but the seller sent them so quickly that I was extremely pleased. They are strong enough to hold a full bag of paper without tearing, which would undo their purpose of destroying the papers. Now, if only someone sold something to make sorting through mountains of paper more interesting . . . .

Excellent! Our local grocery started charging $.10 per bag, and they get reused in my household a lot! I decided that I would pay the grocery for a paper bag when pigs fly (it’s not an inexpensive grocery store). So, with some trepidation, I ordered these. I couldn’t be more pleased. They work beautifully, and I would recommend them to anyone with the same dilemma I had.
